Naughty Valentine's Workshop
2026-02-06 17:30 - 19:30 | Two Suns Art Studio and Makerspace, 70 SW Century Drive #190, Bend, 97702, United States
ADULTS ONLY! 18+
This workshop is loud, silly, a little or a lot inappropriate (but in a wink-wink way), and absolutely not here for boring hearts and polite sentiments. We’re talking dramatic declarations, chaotic Valentine energy, and ceramic pieces that feel like an inside joke you decided to make permanent. Expect laughing fits, bold choices, questionable phrases, and creations that make you ask, “Should I do this?” (The answer is yes.)
You’ll learn approachable hand-building techniques while letting your sense of humor run completely unsupervised. No clay experience is needed, just bring your sass, your chaos accomplice, and a willingness to commit fully to the bit.
Come make a mess, make something unhinged, and celebrate love… extremely loosely.
